Need Multiple Week definitions in Time & Expense

Client has different work weeks for different employees (i.e M-F for some then Tue-Sat for others). Anyone know of a way to handle this in Time & Expense? Client uses Business Portal.

Greetings Rick,

Hello my name is Jana.

Scope

Multiple week definition in week maintenance.

Assessment

Actually no. Week maintenance is limited.

You should problably just have the client set it up where (in their case) The weekending date should always land on Sunday, the first day to enter time on Monday. The employees can use the same week, but some enter time through Saturday and others just to the Friday.

The program is limited to only 6 weeks in a period and you can't have two week numbers as the same (you get an error on a duplicate key)

I know that probably the employees at this site enter to the wrong days or the client is trying to prevent this in someway. Perhaps a customization to the BP time entry screen that will eliminate Monday for entry for some employees and allow for others ---- But what if they work OT on Monday for some reason...or make up a day (perhaps they are going to miss Saturday) ? Tough call really to even decide to customize the screen.

Anyway I don't have a workaround for you and week maintenance design can limit.

Plan

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Best,

Jana MacDonald
